Howa Stockist

hurlsey

Well lads anybody know a dealer doing Howas? I rang a couple of dealers and im not having any luck!!

Could be wrong, but i think McCloy's in Antrim bring in Howa from GMK in the UK.

As for stockists, it could be hit and miss. I've seen a few dealers with specials on such as a Swift scope, Howa rifle, and case for €650 (all new). Others have the rifles only.

What caliber are you looking for and what county are you in? Could help narrow down a dealer.

Im still dicing between .223 or .243, I am in Kildare, should have put that in the OP!!
I know the hogue stock is a p.o.s its going soon as i get the rifle!!

Griffin and Hawe are your closest dealer that i can think off. I was in with them a few weeks ago, but did not see any.

Problem about recommending someone with them in stock is unless i'm looking for them then i don't take notice. The few i do remember are from months ago so i would hate to recommend someone only for you to turn up and they have none.

Millard bros were the suppliers i think but i don't know if they still are, i rang them a few months ago to try locate a stainless model in .243 but they hadn't any just .223's i think they only do savages now, I've seen them in stakelums in thurles and o hallorans in drangan, but not recently, i actually like the hogue stocks, feel a lot better than the likes of a remmy sps or tikka lite imo and if i'm not mistaken they have alluminium pillers, the older howas had horrible cheap injection moulded stocks

Patrick carley has one too in .22-250,

he also has another stainless in .204

and a weatherby in .223 which is practically the same might be worth a look

Howa built a lot of the Weatherby actions, so most likely the same!
